Pay Versus Performance

The Company’s executive compensation has been highly correlated with the Company’s performance. Each year, the Compensation Committee assesses the performance of the Company over time, the prior year’s performance, as well as the anticipated performance in the coming year to determine the appropriate level of compensation.

The Pay versus Performance table below shows the strong link between Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) and the performance of the Company. The strong correlation between TSR and CAP results from two factors: (i) the role of revenue growth and adjusted diluted net earnings per share in driving the executive bonus plan payouts; and (ii) the fact that our NEOs do not realize value from stock options unless stockholders also see an increase in the stock price, which is the sole driver of value for the stock options (as we do not allow for dividend equivalents for unvested stock options). The Company added PSUs to its long-term incentive compensation program in 2023. These PSUs will be earned and vest based on the relative performance of the Company’s TSR compared to an index of similar companies.

Adjusted diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) is a financial measure that the Company believes is an important performance measure to link compensation actually paid to our PEO and

non-PEO

NEOs to the Company’s performance. Adjusted diluted net EPS is a

non-GAAP

measure. Refer to the “GAAP to

Non-GAAP

Reconciliations” section of this proxy statement for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share.
